The trouble is that PW doesn't allow URLs with parentheses inside of them.

(my guess is so that some joker doesn't post some code as a url, like "javascript:for(x=1;x>0;x++)alert('haha ha');" which would just continually pop up alert windows that say "haha ha" forever, without letting you do anything else on your computer, until you can somehow force quit your internet browser or restart the computer)

I don't have the sheet music to "River flows in you" (yet!). All I've ordered so far are four of his recorded CDs.

On a thread in the pianist corner, ShiroKuro posted the ISBN number of a Yiruma sheet music book that contains "River." Here it is: ISBN 89-88601-38-6. I don't have a title or publisher because it's in Korean. I've made a couple of efforts to find it on the web (no luck so far) and to get my local bookstore to order it (ditto; they don't do imports). But I am determined and will find it one way or the other! I have a Korean colleague, so my latest plan is to sweet-talk or bribe her into navigating the Korean language web sites for me and helping me order it. I'll let you know if I am successful. ShiroKuro said it took her something like 3 months to get it, so I'm telling myself to be patient.

Sam: [smacks hand on forehead] Of course! I should have realized Kam already knew how to use the URL thingy. Here I was feeling tickled pink that there was a computer question I could actually answer... But your point makes a lot of sense and I am glad that feature exists!

That was all I could find. It looks like Amazon doesn't have a Korean site (they have an Japan one)

Oh, here's an idea, if there's an Asian market that sells imported foods, you might go there and see if they sell non-food items. If they do, perhaps they could order this book for you? Another idea is to keep looking for a bookstore that will do imports, maybe one of the big chains? Or a college bookstore? Or a huge sheet music store?

I couldn't find the page where I originally found this book, which is too bad because that page had a larger image of the cover. But once I found the ISBN number, Kinokuniya bookstore (which has US outlets) said they would order it for me but it would take a while. And then I just waited.

Now I'm trying to settle on fingerings for the piece! Good luck, I'm sure you'll be able to get a copy!

Thanks, ShiroKuro! I think with that website you found for us and my Korean colleague, I should be able to order the book from there. Kam and kawaigirl1, if you'd like, I can just order 3 copies and y'all can buy them from me...let me know. I probably won't get around to ordering it for a week or two depending on when I can convince my hard-working colleague to goof off on the web with me during work hours...

this gives you the first page of the piece when you click on the magnifying glass... i reckon you could buy it off here to if you could read korean!! (click on the basket - i just get a message to say ok and thats it)

I know exactly where to buy his sheetmusic books. www.hanbooks.comIt's all korean stuff, based in the US i think. It's all completely safe i've ordered the sheet music myself from there.Only thing i can say wasn't too good was that the condition the book came in was a little bit dissapointing. One of the corners was bent but i'd say it's still worth it and it might have been just a one off.

I think so, AWTPP. Or, at least there were three volumes entitled Piano Scores vol. 1 through 3, and the description of one of them had a sample page of sheet music.

Thanks so much for posting this link, Grant, and welcome to the forum!!

I just love "River Flows in You." A couple of years ago I searched far and wide for a legal source of sheet music for it but failed, so I downloaded (I will confess) an unofficial transcription off the web, all the while crossing-my-heart-and-hoping-to-die that I would purchase it if a legal copy ever came up in the U.S. I just ordered the Piano Vol. 1, thanks to you, so now my conscience can lie at rest.

Hey, i've been working on putting together a site with similar music to Yiruma. Its still in the construction process but would any of you mind taking a look and letting me know what you think? Its www.easyonears.weebly.comhope you enjoy it!
